Why is it important that growth of the graduate student population has notkept pace with growth of the undergraduate population?
• Graduate students are the research engine of a research university.
• UCR aspires to become a major research university and a member of the AAU.
• Members of the AAU are all major research universities.
• To become a member of the AAU, UCR must have the profile of an AAU university.
• Doctoral education is a Phase II AAU membership indicator.
